Description:
The leading Hollywood fan magazine of the 1920s and 1930s. Photoplay offered readers portraits of their favorite movie stars and stories about their personal lives. The magazine played an important promotional function for the Hollywood industry, but its editors and reviewers could also be highly critical of Hollywood. Beginning in 1921, Photoplay bestowed its annual 'Medal of Honor' for the film readers voted as the best of the year. -- Eric Hoyt, 2011.

ONCE again Cecil B. DeMille has done the phenomenal! Director of a hundred outstanding hits, he has added one more name to his long list of successes. This time he has made what will surely be considered his greatest screen achievement. Never did Mr. DeMille have a more thrilling story, finer performers or better technical resources than in Dynamite, the most exciting picture he ever made! Dynamite tears down the camouflage of "high society" and exposes its seamy side— its parasitic women— its weak-kneed men — its shameless flouting of decency — its feverish chase after money and forbidden thrills... A thrilling story of an heiress who learns of true love from a sturdy son of toil, a minei — entombment in a mine — almost certain death — the offer of two men to sacrifice their lives for her safety— and finally escape with the man she really loves! Charles Bickford, Conrad Nagel and Kay Johnson in the leading roles give the best performance of their careers. Don't miss Dynamite.' ALL-TALKING. (Also a silent version.) Dynamite digs through the outer veneer of sham, pretense and glitter — and gets down to the bed-rock of human emotions. METRO-GOLD WYii-rVlAYER "More Stars Than There An' In Heaven"
